Me and my mate started a 2 piece acoustic band and our first upload was a cover of this song, have a look and tell us what you think.

[meowinglikeaboss]

Best new indie band, Atluk ... from Australia, the only song I can find on here is woody. such a good song, the kooks are amazing as well....

[Artfactorychannel]

the english version of bob dylan

[capellarienrico]

Worst the teeth, better the voice

[cRaFtYMuRkZ]

[0MegansWorld0]

[padda1234]

[iNashty13]

just amazing

[gimmegimmeicecream]

This is holy.

[spwb2k]

timeless melody with simple classic chords, vocals from the heart & gut. well done.

[dalediji]

como puede haber gente que no le guste esto, en vídeos así no tendría q haber "no me gusta"

[xxsmilesANDregretsxx]

god damn this is so perfect, tel me someone has the tab for it?...

[spwb2k]

@xxsmilesANDregretsxx XX try F#m-D-A/Ab w/o a capo

or capo 2nd Em-C-G/Gf#

[usernamewaster]

@spwb2k that's right. but if A/Ab is slightly difficult to get to in tempo, an E major works as well.

[usernamewaster]

@usernamewaster if it is*

[spwb2k]

@usernamewaster Hi user...i have been playing this non-stop for days. I cant sing a note but whatever. my best results are coming with capo 2, then the Em-C-G followed basic DMajor instead of the Gf#. Cheers.

[Failix001]

my cover : /watch?v=na_93bTtj-I

[jonkataLP1]

i knew Sam can sing but and Frodo?!? ... its awesome <3

[jeansanz789]

more like mary and pippin but sure frodo. ha

[funnygabsy]

if people are going to make pathetic comments about this then why the fuck watch it in the first place? no one wants to really hear any of this 'lord of the rings shit' clearly jealous;) and since when could most of you guys get a band started from a young age and become successful hmm? just though i'd say 'frodo' wrote naive, which is a really good song, when he was 16, pretty amazing! aaahhhh beat that bitches!! XD

[funnygabsy]

@2666ification bitch please. when are you going to start to act your age mate? considering the kooks are known world wide and have released 3 album yeah jog on with your pathetic comments, noob -_-

[hrichardson497]

Can someone please find these chords

[mitchstacey34]

@hrichardson497 F#, D, A, E

[BlueCityTrees]

dam these lord of the rings references are getting really annoying-_- and old. lol

[WeAreSecretMark]

I liked it! Check out my cover of electric feel!

[oORxAOo]

@2666ification umadbro??

[solidsnake370]

[Anthonymacca87]

Emmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that was fucking brilliant!

[DUDEplayer69]

where/how can I buy this? or get a digital copy of this song?

[wildquestioncard]

the guy in the hat to the left of the main singer is kinda shit at playing guitar

[ohsnapitschlo]

@wildquestioncard thats because Sam is a " stupid,fat hobbit "

[XPaaaad]

@wildquestioncard is that a joke?

[ohsnapitschlo]

And with the ring destroyed the hobbits returned to The Shire where Sam and Frodo created a band called The Kooks...

[drosenwinkel]

wow the irish accent works so well.

[GlacialZ]

The Isengard School of Covers!

[unholychimp]

I'm glad there's a replay button

[madbeatz]

[philych33s3st3ak]

@madbeatz F#m D A A/Ab

[JoJoRemoteControl]

They looks like some Hobbits:D I Love it!

[marion3020]

adore this song!!

[Adamisnotaposer]

I love mgmt, alot. But this I actually prefer over the original.

[TheDEADKENNY]

Im still preferring original, but holy fuck THIS IS AMAZING. Nothing can beat original Kids because Kids is one of the best songs in world tho

[Jauckor]

Oh, come on. The Kooks are always cover someone. I wouldnt be surprise if I watched a Ladys Gaga song cover by them.

[SeattleSk8rChick]

maaaaan im soo into guyd who have curly hair especially luke

[Hammerzeiterrr]

this is terrible

[mykalmint400]

Testiment to triple j and the 'like a version' recording staff that guests now look forward to and enjoy covers like this.

[444shelbster]

his voice is perfect for this song

[piratemonkeys89]

Thank you reddit.

[disbemetube]

Without the intention of trolling, I have no idea how I used to enjoy listening to the Kooks back when I was 13 or so. This makes me want to go club myself in the snow. Oh childhood...

[2666ification]

@disbemetube and now you're 14. god, how the years slip by

[misfits12o]

@2666ification lol thats probably the funniest response to someones comment ive ever seen

[bgsnhs23]

someone was influenced by bob dylan...

[sirklondike303]

@bgsnhs23 is that a bad thing?

[idontcare80]

Good performance, but it lacks the emotion of the original.

[Terribella1123]

@idontcare80 I disagree. i think this is much more emotional

[Activist4America]

Can I blow up the internet NOW?!

[hmp22]

This is pretty awful.

[jbattya]

Holy shit. I had no idea Sam and Frodo could play the guitar and sing.

[gmet]

@jbattya cannot unsee

[bravelittlerobot]

@jbattya clearly it's Sam and Pippin.

[zelasko607]

@bravelittlerobot I was thinking more Merry and Pippin.

[xepps1]

@jbattya In the book, Hobbits are well known for their songs!

[phreshgamings]

@jbattya that's mary and pippin

[Kurt123asd]

@jbattya he can play but im not sure about the singing part

[bradacook]

@Oasys18 you got a link for that?

[bradacook]

TY, And THY REDDIT



[MitsukiRox]

THANKS REDDIT!!!!!!!!!!

[bradacook]

I need to figure out how to download this song

[Oasys18]

[bradacook]

@DJbirfday TY

[billiamreynolds]

I like this better then the original song

[kelseyleannemusic]

@billiamreynolds me too :D

[disfiguration]

wtf, theyre off pitch and people are saying its a good cover. way to butcher the original.

[mattmakescovers]

@disfiguration its a cover. it's supposed to sound different.

[superpojken13]

@disfiguration

Studio recording and live performance is quite different. It's the vocals that are interesting, they're not off pitch. Playing instrument has some mistakes but.. who cares?

Oh and if I forgot to mention it above, you're an idiot.

[drummer116]

sounds a lot like bob dylan

[themappable]

reddit fuck yeah

[DaJmsta]

omg his voice sucks why is this so popular



[GrunerPfeffer]

fucking hate it

[iidaa1]

this is perfection

[ringberar]

dude his teeth are fucked

[DFTF2]

@ringberar Yeah bro cause I can hear his teeth in my headphones. Go eat some bubblegum, dipshit.

[gorith13]

they took a great song, made it acoustic (which isnt bad), but then added terrible vocals

[smaug88]

They actually look a bit like MGMT members.

[drosenwinkel]

Wow almost 400 likes goes to show how much better original comment that apply directly to the video are than the obnoxious spam ones are.

[thevanillajuice]

00:00 free replay bouton :)

[scorze]

How to destroy a good song... this is a youn band... do they need to do covers right now??

[Lukoaldos]

@scorze i like it.. do you need to write such stupid comments?

[scorze]

@Lukoaldos It was my opinion, and it wasn't more stupid than yours. 

[dylpickelster]

@Lukoaldos The band is ten years old. They have 3 full albums.

[mouseonthefloor]

but they aren't young. they formed in 2001.



[commaqwat]

@scorze

its been a while since ive seen so much fuck in a comment.

[scorze]

@commaqwat Maybe because you fucked your mind with this shit-boy band

[gingerninger3]

@lokomelo19 hes sustaining the notes you retard

[gingerninger3]

[Hem4fiction]

[bre696]

These people seriously need to shower. Love their cover but dude, it's called soap.

[weemankai]

[Ronanjack93]

[lokomelo19]

@NickTour

[brnhola]

A veces parece que canta como tarado.

[PS3xXMTCXx]

The dislike bar is like Lady Gaga's penis, it shouldn't be there, no-one wants it to be there, and it's job is useless.

[SebaSheckler]

[jbz86]

[Windrider2110]

so this is music for you? 2 guys singing bullshit? you hipsters and indies make me feel bad, even gay. stupid people.

[IrishMadeGuy]

@Windrider2110 hey-- its a good song and there many different types of music--- so why would this song make you so mad? here's an idea, go and get mad a something important instead of shitting all over a song on youtube... so here we are 2 guys, talking about "bullshit", having a "stupid" dialect over a song that makes you feel "gay"...

[Windrider2110]

@IrishMadeGuy the song sucks ass, but what really sucks is the people that listen at it, lol.

[Rudeaudio]

@Windrider2110 how does one listen "at" something? smartguy

[LawlKATZzZ]

@Windrider2110 your name makes me feel gay hahahha

[Windrider2110]

@LawlKATZzZ yea because "lol cats" isnt a gay name, right? dumbass

[LawlKATZzZ]

@Windrider2110 im almost sure my name isnt "lol cats" but ill do some research and get back to you as soon as i can. thank you for your patience

[LynahLi]

@Windrider2110: yes, this is music.

[drosenwinkel]

@Windrider2110 then what is music? Give me an artist

[laymi2]

MEORGASMEO :')

[nazrihar]
